What powers the U Plug Generator? Rare earth magnets provide power to the U Plug Generator, working in groups to initiate and maintain constant, continuous energy. What do I have to do to start up the U Plug Generator? Nothing, the U Plug Generator comes fully assembled, and already operational. During manufacturing the magnets are placed in the correct location and sequence, the U Plug Generator is automatically activated and begins putting out 120 volt, 17 amp power, rated at 2000 Watts. How long will the U Plug Generator continue to produce electrical power? The U Plug Generator is warrantied to run continuously for (3) three years, however, the U Plug Generator's rare earth magnets are expected to continue to operate for 20 years or more, as long as there are no defects in the generator head, and circuit board. Will the U Plug Generator damage my valuable electronic devices? The short answer is No. The U Plug Generator generates a constant and continuous flow of 120 Volt, 17 amp power. It is not affected by power surges. In addition, it puts out what is called "clean" energy, meaning the voltage is a clean true sine wave signal, providing nearly perfect power for all of your electronic needs. How do we know there are no batteries in the machine? First, no battery, by itself, puts out alternating (AC) current, the type of electricity everyone finds coming out of their wall sockets. Batteries generate direct (DC) current. Batteries come in volts listed as 12 volts, 24 volts, etc., direct current. A computer cannot be plugged into a DC current outlet. Cigarette lighters in cars are a DC outlet.

Second, assuming for the sake of argument that batteries could be put into a six inch diameter, 24 inch tall cylinder, the batteries would lose power within minutes running through an inverter to convert DC to AC power. In fact, after only a few minutes it would become so apparent that the batteries were losing power as the device hooked to the machine would begin to run more slowly, or the lights would begin to dim through the natural diminution of the power of the batteries. Can the U-Plug Generator be brought inside an enclosed structure? Yes. Since the U-Plug Generator runs on rare earth magnets, contains no internal combustion engine, and does not run on any fossil fuel or similar combustible fuel source, the U-Plug Generator is completely safe to use, install or store in your home, office, vehicle, or other enclosed structure.

Best of all, and we've not mentioned this yet, the U Plug Generator makes no noise, and produces no vibrations, when in operation. In fact, until you plug something into your U Plug Generator, you won't even know it is running. How powerful are the rare earth magnets which are used in the U Plug Generator? Each individual magnet is capable of lifting over 2500 pounds of weight. Why is the U Plug Generator listed as as being a "Green Energy" device? Since the U Plug Generator runs on rare earth magnets, it burns no fossil fuels, has no emissions, involves no chemical reactions, releases no pollutants, has no toxic residue or waste from the creation of the power, and requires no refueling or use of oil to operate. The U Plug Generator is more "Green" than hydro, solar, wind or other "Green" technologies, and is more portable and affordable than hydro, solar, and wind which require far more space and cost far more to operate. How much does it cost? The U Plug generator will be sold at $1,795 MSRP, plus processing and handling, and tax where appropriate. It is favorably comparable to competitors' generators which produce the same amount of wattage, is smaller than the competitors' generators, does not have to be refueled like the competitors' generators, and is similar in price to the competitors' generators. What type's of devices can be powered by a U Plug Generator? Any device which requires 120 volt, 15 amp power and uses 2000 watts or less, can be powered by the U Plug Generator. This is a significant list. Attached is a partial list of devices which can be powered by the U Plug Generator (2000 watts or less), and some devices which cannot be powered by the U Plug Generator (over 2000 watts). Consult your electronic device, or electrical appliance before plugging it into the U Plug Generator. Is the U Plug safe for me if I have a pacemaker or other heart or medical device? Again, the short answer is Yes. The U Plug was tested to determine if the U Plug Generator was not putting out any EMF radiation. (It was emitting levels lower than a smoke detector).

The U Plug Generator is wrapped to insulate it from the outside environment, thus protecting it from Electromagnetic Pulses. Why should I buy a U Plug Generator? You never know when you will find yourself without power when you want power. So ask yourself, what would you like to enjoy in the following situations:

Medical devices that must be powered at all times.During storms and natural disasters to have the basic necessities.Camping or hunting to power phones, lights, TV's, heaters, and so much more.Work sites and construction for power tools and chargers for drills.Winter driving for emergencies and convenience.Not having to find gasoline for your big, bulky, heavy, noisy generator.

The U Plug can solve all of these problems and so much more.

================================================

So far their FAQ page...If this really works, this will be the gamechanger...

Looks fantastic Stephan. Problem is, if it does work, their little outfit can't possibly keep up with demand, especially when their crowd funding died at 9% of the 1/4 million they where hoping for. Therefore the only viable solution would be for a group to pitch-in, buy a unit, attempt to (silently) reverse engineer it and post the results (underground). Eighteen hundred dollars is a pittance for such a device. I'll put up $200 if anyone is serious about tackling this lion.

And don't, "I know why and you do too", TK. Give this one some time. At least until we have done some investigation of this group's background to see who they are connected with and what evil forces may be behind it all. Very unlikely yes, but if they come up clean, we may have a winner, or at least better odds than winning the lottery.

We developed a simplified planetary gear system with multiple shafts that have our magnets in them. Each magnet can pick up over 2500 pounds each. There are several magnets per shaft, and when they are in the proper position they begin to spin. This will cause a push pull type of effect that has worked quite well for over 2 1/2 years. Then we surround the unit with the field coils to generate the power.

In the comments on the YT video, he says:"Currently we have 2 patents in place and are waiting on a 3rd patent and so for security reasons we will not show the internal workings yet."But I've been unable to find any US patents with Tim or Timothy Slavings as applicant or assignee. Perhaps if we had the patent numbers...

Maybe when Chet calls them up , he can ask for the patent numbers.

Also, if they are building 50 units a week now, why are the US Government still waiting for their units? And why didn't every scientist and technician and engineer at JPL also place their orders for units when they tested them back in 2014? And where is the test report from JPL? And why didn't the US Government give them a huge contract right away? And why did their Indiegogo campaign only raise less than 1/10th of what they were asking for? More questions for Chet to ask, I guess.

There is no official state nickname.[17] However, Missouri's unofficial nickname is the "Show Me State", which appears on its license plates. This phrase has several origins. One is popularly ascribed to a speech by Congressman Willard Vandiver in 1899, who declared that "I come from a state that raises corn and cotton, cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I'm from Missouri, and you have got to show me." This is in keeping with the saying "I'm from Missouri" which means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced."

From WIKI.

So... Show Me. Send one of your devices to EarthTech International in Austin Texas for testing and evaluation. Let them publish a public report.

However it is very likely an Advanced Fee Fraud operation, where customers pay in advance to reserve their place in the queue and wait for delivery forever, while the U-Plug people resolve their patent issues or manufacturing issues or legal issues, etc...

What if the Tamper Protection kicks in and and obliterates the unit ...or it explodes in your face?

We draw straws to see who is the lucky one.

I'd rather look at a patent to see how it works, but seriously, if I have to pop the top off one of them tubes after running a harsh overnight test on it first, I'd do it. Maybe make a video of the U-Plug untubing.

I did a little poking around this evening and it smells a little fishy to me still, though I did get an email response from them--they would like to know my location so they can have a local dealer rep speak with me. Hmmmm....

I think the logistics are off and there would be problems like heat buildup in that tube and how can it weigh only 20lbs when they use several magnets with a force of 2500lbs? That would indicate many large heavy magnets.

How it works

We developed a simplified planetary gear system with multiple shafts that have our magnets in them. Each magnet can pick up over 2500 pounds each. There are several magnets per shaft, and when they are in the proper position they begin to spin. This will cause a push pull type of effect that has worked quite well for over 2 1/2 years. Then we surround the unit with the field coils to generate the power.

We cannot give to much more info without divulging our secrets, so we have kept this explanation as simple as it is.

The U-Plug Green system will generate between 17.25 amps and 19.25 amps. and is controlled by 2 circuit boards located at the top of the unit. We have set the unit at 2000 watts maximum for reliability.

The circuit boards control the speed, amperage, and the output wattage so that the coils are not damaged. Other safety devices inside the unit are provided in case water gets inside, and to protect it from overheating.

Maximum operating temp, Fahrenheit, is 125 degrees and so far we have found that the unit will operate at -60 degrees with no problems.

Only 125 F? Well, that pretty much eliminates using it during a hot Texas or Australian summer, or in military operations in any of the many deserts we have invaded. No wonder the "US Government" only ordered a couple of units. Heck, my attic gets over 125 F around 8 months out of the year. Hey, I know... you could buy two and use one to run an air conditioner to keep them both cool....

The magnets and gear train are only supposed to weigh 7 pounds. That's about 3.2 kilos for the metrically inclined. Most of the rest of the 20 pounds weight is supposed to be in the copper coiling. I wonder where they are buying their magnets.... and what material they are using for their gears?

Provo Utah? That's the last known address of Joe Firmage's operation, there at the airport.
